POTATO TV (IPTV Stalker addon)

One thing I'm seeing is that it will not work while going through a vpn. A soon as I disconnect from the vpn and try the same channel again it works. Is there a fix for this?

This is directly from the NFPS admin

IMPORTANT: If you use VPN and the service doesn't work then please try without the VPN because some datacenters are blacklisted for security reasons.
 
sorry mate... the coloured epg and the sync'ed backend channel # are not available in v1.0.x

maybe they will be included in v1.1.x

but I'm still waiting for more magic words spreaded here in my thread which can make my life a little bit brighter lol :D

all off passive responses here can only make the prince of darkness wake up bored


are the words pretty pretty pretty please

LMFAO

hmm....I think your question has been answered
credits to pod77



are the words pretty pretty pretty please

LMFAO

hahaha...

python says:

Code:
good_people = []
magic_words = 0


def magic_words_added(words):
    global magic_words

    magic_words += words




words = 'pretty pretty pretty please'

total_words = len([word for word in words.split() if word not in bad_words])

if total_words > 0:
    magic_words_added(total_words)
    good_people.append('stoner420')


4 words added
996 to go lol




is there any chance that this will end up on any repository for updating to newest version, etc?


hmm... maybe someday
thanks for suggestion :)

By the looks of the post I think is only certain VPN's that are not working. See below:

UPGRADE
Hi.

We have upgraded our IPTV system to provide much more stability, compatibility and security. Now you can enjoy the service by using Playlists or MAC Address authentication for those who use *** boxes or prefer the Stalker portal.

All portals have been upgraded and all portals are redirecting to the new ones but for those apps or devices that doesn't support redirect like KODI most use the new URLs

Portals 1 - 4 are redirecting to:

Portal 5 is redirecting to:

Customers using M-A-G, emu and other apps and devices that support redirect doesn't need to change anything.

Those interested on using the playlist, just need to visit the Search Donation form and there you will see the playlist option. Only those donations without a linked mac address are able to use the playlist option, if your donation have a mac linked but you'd to use the playlist instead then just remove the mac from your donation.

Here you have a list with some of the new devices & apps compatible with the new system but basically any device or app that support M3U playlists or Xtream Codes should work with your donation number:

KODI
Apple TV
VLC
GigaBlue
Engima 2 OE
Dreambox OE
StarLive
Octagon
Ariva
Spark
Geant
Tiger
QMax
Hyper
Royal
Fortec
Prifix
StarPort
Revolution 60/60
SunPlus
Zorro
WebTV
AZclass

IMPORTANT: If you use VPN and the service doesn't work then please try without the VPN because some datacenters are blacklisted for security reasons.
 
Ok haven't used my kodi in a few days. The last time I used it I had to change my settings in potato to portal 2 and it worked great. Today when went on I'm getting a PLAY ERROR: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden not sure how to fix this. I tried changing my portal again but there was an error and I already reset my iptv too. I just updated to the new version hoping that would help but get the same message. If anyone else has had this problem and knows how to fix it the help would be great.
 
is there any chance that this will end up on any repository for updating to newest version, etc?

Has anyone seen this ? When I click IPTV or VOD it hangs on Working. I am currently set on portal p2.iptvprivateserver.tv, if I choose another portal I get a failed Mac. On checker page I am set to the same portal (p2.iptvprivateserver.tv) as well. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I have also done reset and changed Mac address still no luck.

Thanks

Hey Couch...

I've been able to get the f4mtester working fine using the potato TV app but have never gotten it to work for the PVR. I use the pvr for watching TV and I use the potato TV app for watching the VOD. Often I find I have to select the TV channel multiple times for it to work using the pvr but works the very first time everytime using the potato TV app. I prefer using the pvr for TV since it gives me the epg as well.

Can you possibly give me a lil guide about how to get the f4mtester working on the pvr as well.

Edit.. also I read earlier in the conversation that if I wished to get info for movies in the VOD section I needed to use both donation and Mac options. So I added my mac under my donation and re-setup my potato TV app, reset my donation on the website and Clear Cashes on the potato TV app... still no info under theach movies. Can you assist me with what I may be doing wrong.

PLEASE READ THIS


Until the maintanace has been completely DONE,

I won't answer any question about following HTTP error codes:

  • 401: UNAUTORIZED
  • 403: FORBIDDEN
  • 404: NOT FOUND



Thanks very much couch potato. I downloaded and installed potatoTV in my fire stick. IPTV works fine, but VOD's don't work for me. I hear the sound (no pic) for about 10 seconds, then I see the circle buffering to 100%, but no picture or sound after that! Would appreciate help on this.

if you provided me with the movie title, I could help you testing it

since I don't have any issues like yours, I think the issue is only on your side due to your device failure
you could try to disable the video hardware acceleration

1. change the port # for the IPTV Simple Plugins Player

http://iptvtalk.net/showthread.php?...Stalker-addon)&p=188375&viewfull=1#post188375


2. enable the F4M Tester

3. click "Server: STATUS"
you have to ensure that the server is ON
if it is OFF, you have to click "Server: START"

4. disable LIVE TV

5. clear both TV & EPG DATA

6. quit KODI

7. you may also delete TV*.db & Epg*.db in Kodi/userdata/Database/

8. restart KODI

9.click "Server: STATUS"
you have to re-ensure that the server is ON

which version of potatoTV are you using now?

if you're running the latest one, there is a new option available for clearing both IPTV & VOD caches
it might solve your issue

Hi Couch, yes I am using the latest version from the repository zip which i had to download manually via my computer because strangely enough when I add the hxxps://is.gd/anti_social to my file manager in Kodi 17 and select install from zip it appears the directory is empty. The instructions you gave regarding getting the f4mtester to work for the PVR I have done many times from when it was posted after releasing the new version of Potato TV (I follow this thread daily... so i am well aware of what everyone is saying as well as you).

To be 100% certain I even removed Kodi 17 completely last night and installed a fresh copy installed Potato TV and the required apps like f4mtester the simple iptv plugin for services and did everything as you instructed, only thing I was unable to do of course is disable PVR due to me using Kodi 17 which doesnt have that option. Unfortunately I was unable to get f4mtester to work with the PVR, also I was unable to get Plot info for VOD, I am completely clueless as to where I am going wrong... unless of course its because I am using Kodi 17.

I dont wish to use Kodi 16 due to this :

(This might not be the news you want to hear, but upgrading to the latest version of Kodi is pretty much necessary if you want to continue to enjoy streaming the way you want to. More and more streaming sites are moving to HTTPS, and older versions of Kodi do not offer HTTPS support. This means that at this point you really have no choice but to upgrade to Kodi 17.1 Krypton. This isn’t something that’s just going to go away, might as well do it now. Don’t sweat it though, upgrading Kodi is not very difficult.)

Soooo... perhaps its time to kick the bucket and upgrade with the rest of us Couch :)

ps. Why cant i install from zip using ur repository in my kodi installation but if I paste it in my web browser on my computer it begins the download just fine. Also just noticed I never told you what device I am using Kodi on... Its an Amazon FireTV (4K Version)
 
to be honest,
now I'm feeling like a blind man who was asked to explain how exactly an elephant looks like

the blind man was surely more lucky than me, because he could touch & feel the elephant

all i can do is blindly guessing based only on what others said,
which could be only vague and incomplete details

as a miserable blind man, I'm not sure which steps you took exactly until you stuck
it would be so helpful, if you could make a video and show it to me, so I could analyze it to find where the issue started

hahaha!

I have 3 version of kodi running on my iMac


Screen_Shot_2017_04_24_at_7_38_40_AM.png


and I always test my addon with all of 'em, before I decide to share it with you

I have my own reason why I hate krypton

yes! I know all issue regarding the old version of python used by older kodi

and as my dad used to tell me: when there's a will, there's a way! lol


ps. Why cant i install from zip using ur repository in my kodi installation but if I paste it in my web browser on my computer it begins the download just fine.


is.gd is a url shorten service, like goo.gl, bit.ly, tinyurl.com
  • it will make an alias for your real url
  • it will redirect you to the real url, only if your client allow it



I have 16 GB of ram. I am using a Pc running win 7, I have never had issues before.


16GB??? it's more weird!

as a miserable blind man, I don't know what exactly happened on your system

thus, I would ask you to do a little test:

1. quit kodi
2. open windows file-explorer
3. go to %APPDATA% folder
4. find kodi folder, then rename it with kodi.ori
5. restart kodi
6. re-install my addon (only 1 addon which is mine)
7. run my addon
8. quit kodi
9. repeat steps #2 & #3
10. delete kodifolder
11. rename kodi.ori with kodi

if my addon can work, thus your other addons might conflict with mine




Hi Couch, I disabled the video hardware acceleration and it resolved the issue! Thanks a lot!

congrats mate :)
 
As I said before the problem is in the link they are .ts no problems in the addon as people say a video speaks more than a thousand words i use 1 channel of usa and one spanish the 2 stopped after few seconds I thought the maintenance was to get a good m3u but no it stay the same jajajaj
